The minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi has expressed worry over funding of ongoing rail projects.
At the Inspection of the Kano-Kaduna Rail line, Mr Amaechi said the Chinese are not funding the way they use to as a result of economic downturn.
Presently, the ministry is not able to conclude with the loan for the funding of the Kano-Kaduna Rail project, which is now a setback for the completion timeline, which was initially 18 months.
The minister explained that the Kano-Kaduna Rail project is now being funded through the budget.
